Cozy & Comfy Baby Afghan Pattern

By: Vicky Pietz from Pattern Princess
Cozy Comfy Baby Afghan Pattern

"This cozy & comfy baby afghan pattern is so quick to make. Easy Crochet Pattern great for a beginner. Baby blanket is just the right size too. I made a number of these afghans for so many baby boys that were born last year. You might be wondering why I didn’t use a baby blue yarn. I wanted to make something that the family could use for years to come that would look nice draped over the end of a chair or couch. Not that a baby blue is not a beautiful choice, it just seems to be dated once the baby is a toddler and I think people tend to pack them away versus keep using them throughout their house. This same pattern can also be used as a very nice lap afghan for someone to use at work, lounging around the house, or even someone that might be wheel chair bound. Often people just need a bit of a coverup to take the chill off and this afghan pattern can do just the trick."

Crochet HookH/8 or 5 mm hook

Yarn Weight(4) Medium Weight/Worsted Weight and Aran (16-20 stitches to 4 inches)

Crochet GaugeTo increase or decrease the size of the blanket, it is worked in multiples of 4 plus 1. That means that this starting chain of 137 is 4 X 34 = 136 + 1 = 137. This will change the width, if you want to change the length, just reduce the number of rows.
